In this webinar, Director of Community of Rancher Labs Jason van Brackel joins forces with Sr. Developer Advocate Patrick Hoolboom from MayaData to talk about benefits of OpenEBS and Rancher as a combined solution. Rancher's multi-cluster Kubernetes management solution allows development teams to iterate fast, deploy efficiently and operate at scale. Kubernetes allows you to orchestrate containers that are highly available. However, in the case of container reschedule, Kubernetes does not provide a great set of primitives to manage your persistent data along with your application containers. In this webinar, we will present some of the challenges associated with managing persistent data in Kubernetes and how we can make day 2 operations easier to manage. We will briefly introduce the combined offering and talk about a couple of approaches to solving data persistence problems in multi-cloud environments with Rancher and OpenEBS. During the demos, we will showcase how we address data availability with OpenEBS. We will also talk about project updates in the latest releases and preview of upcoming Kubecon announcements.

7. Agility
Lessons learned
● Per team control
● No tight coupling to
infrastructure
● Run the same everywhere
Kubernetes
● Write once, run anywhere
● Small team autonomy,
integrated via APIs
● Portable infrastructure

Legacy &/or cloud storage
STOPs benefits:
● Not portable => lock-in
● Teams not autonomous
● Higher TCO
● Distributed systems on

“Most of these applications that we
are building now would not have
been possible without the cloud
native patterns and the flexibility that
Kubernetes enables.”
